When to flush brake fluid on a jeep?
In the case of my Jeep, I have snow tires for winter, and all-season tires for the summer, and since I change the tires seasonally, it’s not that much extra work to flush the brake fluid while I’m doing the tire swap. I’m retired, and have a little extra time on my hands.
What kind of brake fluid does not collect water?
That silicone-based fluid does not absorb water. However what I found out is that water still gets in the system and collects in low points, like the bottom of a cast iron master cylinder. So now I just use DOT 3 and change it.
How often do you change your brake fluid?
Click to expand… Since I change out the fluid on a regular basis, and I make it a point to “exercise” the ABS and traction control functions, a couple of times a year (at least), relatively fresh fluid gets circulated through all of the brake lines.
How much does it cost to flush brake fluid?
My local dealer sent me a coupon for $99 for Brake Fluid Flush. Do you guys think it’s worth doing on a ’14 GC, 60k miles? I never have either until my wife decided to keep her ’11 BMW 328xi past the service included period.
